Even though Cohen has been arrested, attorney/client privilege still exists, and anything covered by it will not be permissable in court. It’s a privilege for the client, but an obligation for the attorney

So the real question here is what exists that Cohen could flip on? The fact that Trump is expressing that it won’t happen makes it troubling to think about what exactly would make him even comment on the possibility one way or the other. There would have to be some pretty serious stuff there for Cohen to even be able to have something to flip on.

He isn’t worried about Cohen “flipping”. This is in response to all the liberal media articles gleefully exclaiming “Cohen gonna flip” cause prosecutors will somehow try to say he deserves life in prison for anything they think he did.

A/C privilege does not cover current or future frauds or crimes, so if anyone asked or advised on how to break the law... It is not privileged. Attorneys are supposed to keep secrets, but more importantly, they are sworn to uphold the constituition of the USA.

As for the "flip" thing, truly bizarre. A rational person would simply say that there is nothing to hide, no incriminating information to bargain with. Odd word choice.

He ought to be bloody terrified.

Avenatti is convinced he'll flip, and I'd trust his judgement over - in terms of legal understanding - a hapless nincompoop like Trump. But if you think Avenatti is simply biased toward saying so just because his client is suing Cohen, try Jay Goldberg, who actually gives Trump legal advice. He discussed Cohen with Trump after the raid in these terms:

On a scale of 100 to 1, where 100 is fully protecting the president, Mr. Cohen 'isn’t even a 1'.

So after the raid, Goldberg is putting in even stronger terms what Avenatti was saying weeks ago, before he even knew there was going to be a raid.

Susan McDougal didn’t flip and she really didn’t do anything. There are many, many people that won’t flip under heavy pressure, it all depends on what tricks the Feds will use.

If Cohen is looking down the barrel of a hefty sentence he'll babble like a mountain stream.

How would you know that? Manafort didn’t.

What's Trump hiding?

Probably nothing. What is Mueller looking for or supposedly again?

He sure goes on like the guiltiest man to walk the face of the earth. The drama to end all dramas continues....

Really, I don’t think he looks guilty, but I do think that Mueller needed to snag someone and the best person to go after would be Cohen, but Rosenstein said, Trump is not the focus of any criminal investigation, well, not that Giuliani is part of Trump’s team, we will know for sure it its a lie or a joke.
